Submitted By Brigitte Pribnow

INGREDIENTS

For the salsa

• 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
• ½ teaspoon honey
• Dash of salt and freshly ground pepper, or to taste
• 1 Granny Smith apple, finely diced
• 2 tablespoons minced red onion
• 2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro

To complete the recipe

• 12 Crostini (French baguette cut into twelve slices)
• ¼ cup Brie cheese, divided

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly brush olive oil on both sides of
twelve 3/8-inch-thick slices of French baguette. Arrange the slices in
a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for about 1 minute per side
(until lightly toasted).

Turn on the oven broiler.

To make the salsa, stir together the vinegar, oil, honey, salt, and
pepper in a medium bowl. Add the apple, onion, and cilantro; toss.
Taste and adjust the seasoning.

Mound each crostini with a heaping tablespoon of the salsa. Top with
about 1 teaspoon of the cheese. Arrange on a baking sheet. Broil for
about 1 minute, or until the cheese is melted. Serve warm.
